6-7 Aura Points Deeper than "What's Good, Bruh?"
Facilitated by Wilde Parry
Ever tried encouraging a teenager to get curious about someone else, only to receive a blank stare?
Or felt like connecting across generations requires a translator, a TikTok account, and at least 50 aura points?
Authentic Relating (AR) skills are more useful than ever when working with young people, but how do we make these practices accessible, engaging, and relevant to their world?
Join educator and AR facilitator Wilde Parry for an interactive masterclass exploring how we can help today's youth build meaningful connections, navigate differences, and develop genuine social curiosity.
✨ What we'll explore
- Practical ways to spark curiosity and connection among young people
- How to move beyond the "opps" ("us vs. them" mentality) and help kids connect across differences
- Adapting Authentic Relating practices for younger audiences
- Crowdsourcing effective approaches with other youth-focused educators and facilitators
- Trying out a brand-new connection game inspired by a conversation with a 13-year-old!
👥 Who's this for?
Teachers, coaches, camp counselors, youth group leaders, parents, and anyone supporting young people.
Whether you're already bringing Authentic Relating into youth spaces or just wondering where to begin, this masterclass offers fresh ideas, practical tools, and opportunities to connect with others doing similar work.
